Aishwarya will turn 40 in 2013

Age had been a factor that most
actresses feared to reckon with. The constant influx of newbies in the Hindi
Film Industry keeps the competition alive for even established actors. Thus in
such circumstances age used to be dreaded.

However, times seem to have changed
now. Actresses are accepted irrespective of the fact that they are married,
have children or are just turning older. Aishwarya Rai who got married in 2007
is treading on that path.

She was 21 years old when she won the
international beauty pageant. This year she will be turning 40 on the 1st of
November.

She started her career as a model but
then switched to acting. Aishwarya has achieved a lot in her career till now.
She has been one of the leading actresses of Bollywood. Her acting prowess has been
tangible in films like “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” (1999), “Devdas” (2002),
“Dhoom: 2” (2006), “Jodha Akbar” (2008), “Guru” (2007) and many more.

She got married to Abhishek Bachchan in
the year 2007 and delivered a baby girl in November 2011. Marriage had never
come in her way of acting. Films like “Enthiran” (2010), “Guzaarish” (2010),
“Action Replayy” (2010), “Sarkar Raj” (2008) and “Jodha Akbar” (2008) released
after her marriage. She also won the “Best Actress” award for “Jodha Akbar”.
She has also been the face of many international brands.

Shah Rukh Khan once said, “I feel very
proud of the fact that when you go to London, France, Germany, the only two
Indian names people recognize are Aishwarya Rai and Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh
Bachchan has been there for so many years and he’s wonderful. But Aishwarya Rai
is our contemporary, younger than many of us. She’s perhaps done less work than
me and to still be the international face of Indian cinema is great.”

It has only been after her pregnancy
that she has taken a voluntary sabbatical from work. However, with a year
having passed, the actress now wants to take up films.

She being one of the most talented
actresses is sure to not fall short of any work. She has defied other factors
such as marriage and pregnancy with ease. Also post-30 she redefined her beauty
by sporting a lean figure. We hope that 40 will sure be just another number in
her life and have no other impact when it comes to her career.
